Visual Studio - Razor website cannot find C# class file

Question

I have a C# file that contains some code, and I want to refer to it in my Razor HTML page, using the code below:

@{
    var check = new pingDevice();
}

//In the main HTML page:

<button onclick="@check.pingDevice().isConnected()">Ping Devices (See Console)</button>

When I try to, however, I get the following error:

CS0246: The type or namespace name 'pingDevice' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

I have the CS file included in my Bin folder, but I still get the same error.

What am I doing wrong? Should I be using a different method of including code in my Razor project?

Answer 1

This will probably work:

<button onclick="@check.isConnected()">Ping Devices (See Console)</button>

check is a pingDevice, it probably does not have a function pingDevice().
